No amount of reason was welcome. Thank God for the "Fork" so we don't

Not complicated really... curriculum person that has no knowledge or
interest in anything remotely related to what K-12 needs to know it
their future bought a bunch of WinDoze (Office) centric software and Oh

another thread.
Regarding the "Fork"... I am very, very grateful that programmers have
the motivation to have taken OSS to where it has come over these last 15
years or so. I'm just a user, and right now I am a fat happy clam with
my Linux only computer environment and I haven't **had** to use or steal
proprietary software for over 10 years... It feels really, really good.
